Possible Causes

Incorrect power management setting, Faulty current sensor on power module, Overloaded electrical circuit

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Work with a qualified electrician if you are unsure about circuit loading.

  • Reduce load: Try using fewer zones at once or avoid using booster on multiple zones simultaneously. See if E16 disappears.
  • Check power management settings: Some Candy induction models allow setting a maximum power level. Refer to the user manual to verify and adjust this setting.
  • Verify circuit rating: Ensure the cooktop is connected to a circuit with the correct amperage as specified on the rating plate. If undersized, have an electrician upgrade the circuit.
  • Module inspection: If E16 appears even at low loads, the internal current sensor or associated circuitry may be faulty, requiring replacement of the power module.
